I am in the group of people that loved The Thirteenth Tale and hate Bellman & Black.

The first page reels you in and gets you in the mood for a good story, but the book flops after that. You keep reading hoping the next page will be better. By page 260, I couldn't take it anymore and skipped ahead and found the part I needed to end the story. There is no plot to this book and the ending is disappointing. The book lacked cohesive writing.

The book is all about a man's life from childhood to death.
